any drag racers on here?

Curious if anyone on here drag raced their buells

None of my current ones. But they really prefer turning left and right very quickly

Seems like many have given up on dragging them, I, personally, blame it on the end of the AHDRA, a national racing organization where we could race with each other and other bikes with the same times.

Sorry, but its not too fun when you go to a race and have only one class you can race in (ET) because all of the index classes are 2 seconds quicker than youve ever gone (lots of the organizations start in the low 9s for index classes... Ive only been high 10s so far)

I'm afraid you'll need the right tool for the job. They just aren't designed for it.
Close to stock, you'll be competitive in the 1/8th!

Heres an EBR in the 1/4:

Same bike now goes 9.27 at 141!

and look how fast this gets to 125!

Ive been pretty happy with racing mine.

Got two that Ive raced (one is purely drag at this point, i'll post pics later), and then another project 1125 that Im working on that'll be drag only
